"War-blogger Michael Yon says he was harassed, cuffed, detained in Seattle "


Why did this happen to him....

He refused to answer a question they ask him...

The question was how much money do you make?

I know the left is against capitalism, but since when is your income a security threat.

He was detained because he was likely dealing with under-trained, underpaid, unqualified drones.

i don't understand this thread.

what point are you trying to make and what does it have to do with the left being "against capitalism?"

What does that have to do with 'liberals'? I'm hearing echoes in my head of the last decade with people saying things, regarding security, like "if you're not doing anything wrong, what do you have to be afraid of?" Assuming this went as reported, it's absurd and it reconfirms my general opinion of "national security" often being entrusted to "little men with a little power."

You have the right to not answer any questions, and they have the right to not let you pass through security and board your flight.

It seems that a few people need a hug.

I'll need a bit more than someone's Twitter update before I can make any real comment, since that's all this is based off of.

Um, excuse me, but it was a Facebook post. Highly reliable.

Maybe it was after he gave the minimum wage worker sifting through his underwear a hard time.

I'm just impressed that he was able to update his Facebook while hand cuffed. Technology these days!

That's what I've been trying to tell you!!

People tweeted his Facebook post. We are beyond ridiculous as a society.

You need to stop judging twitter. Go check out what Gary Busey puts up there and then stick your nose up!

Thats rather like saying "You have the right to remain silent and we have the right to throw you in jail if you don't cooperate."

You seriously do not see the problem with it?
